Applicant

YesNo

If no, why?

Co-applicant

YesNo

If no, why?

Partnership with Habitat SKC involves willingness to participate with public relations. Partner family bios and a family picture will be displayed at the house site for which the family is approved for. Additionally, partner families may be asked to speak at or attend various Habitat events such as our annual luncheon. Do you understand what is being asked of you and is your family ready for this committment?

YesNo

If no, why?

All applicants understand that they are applying to the homeownership program through Habitat SKC. If approved to become a Habitat homeowner, they are prepared to make monthly on-time mortgage payments as well as Homeowners Association dues (if applicable) after they close on the house. Mortgages are provided through third party providers and will likely have a low interest rate.

YesNo

If no, why?
